Is learning Japanese becoming less popular?

I remember when i first started learning Japanese a few years back there was always dozens of people talking and hanging out in the various discord servers and reddit subs had dozens of new posts per day.

These days i feel like most of the discords I use are much less frequented and usually by the same small group of consistent learners. In the same vein on a good day a reddit sub might have 4 or 5 posts and some days none at all.

I guess my real question is where did everybody go?
